- The USS Pueblo you refer to was built in 1944 as a U.S. Army cargo ship.
In 1966, she was transferred to the U.S. Navy, after which she was converted to a spy ship. In 1968, she was captured by North Korea while operating in the ocean off the coast of North Korea.
No U.S. vessels were sent to defend the Pueblo; President Johnson's excuse was that he was "asleep" so he didn't know the Pueblo was under attack until it was too late. The Pueblo was captured by four ships and a number of Mig-21 jet fighter planes.
The crew was captured and tortured, and the ship remains in the posession of North Korea. It was the only U.S. ship to be captured since 1941.
All on a Democrat's watch.

- I have ready many stories concerning the Kang Nam 1 and I have not seen one word concerning the capture and boarding by North Korea (NK) of the USS Pueblo.
The NKs not only took the ship, which they still have, but killed some of the crew, the remainder of the crew was held prisoners and where released after a good deal of torture.
Based on the above, I believe we have every right to capture any NK ship we can find, especially now that NK has renounced the Korean War Truce. - Reply to this comment

OK Obama the amateur; Stock market up 1000 pts this quarter
-------------
On the morning of Jan 20, the market opened above 8200.
Today it closed below 8500.
That's less than 300 points.
Oh, I get it. You're trying to ignore how much the market DROPPED after Obama took office.
So, as long as the market dropped, that was Bush's fault.
Obama didn't take effect until the market went up.
ROTFLMAO! - Reply to this comment
- The US has a stash of about 9600 nuclear weapons.
-------------
So are you telling me Obama built all 9600 himself?
Please say that's what you're telling me.
So I can LOL you. - Reply to this comment
- Everybody knows that NK is only scared of two countrys (the USA and China). So who else can take any credit?????
----------------------
Hmmm. Think, think, think. If it's the USA or China, and it's not the USA, then who could it be. Hmmm, tough one. That's a stumper all right.
Nope, that's too tough for me.
Just guessing here - could it be CHINAAAAAAA????? - Reply to this comment
- Obama should just make a deal with China: We look the other way while they take over North Korea. They have the best chance of getting it done with the fewest casualties and *everyone* would be soooo much better off than they are now.
Well maybe not Mr. Bad-Hair-Day; but the rest of the North Koreans would be lots better off. Of course, China probably doesn't want the liability. - Reply to this comment
- >the reason why China would continue to deliver every shipment North Korea wants to make is because they have no reason not to.
They have a reason not to - it's a problem they don't need. Most of their trading partners are on the other side of this so why annoy them? There's no up side for them to transship this unless NK comes up with a lot of money. - Reply to this comment
- lmao - yeah, that might've contributed!

- "I have to admit that I am impressed. Over the years, I cannot think of any other time in which I have seen North Korea back down quite as obviously as they are now."
Maybe the ICBM fired from California early Monday morning with three dummy warheads that hit a target Southeast of North Korea had something to do with it.
Just a thought. - Reply to this comment
